How this service works
Pre-settlement merchant screen: signed ALLOW/WARN/BLOCK on (domain, payTo, price) before you settle. Queries are logged (domain, payTo, price); screening is not covert — the merchant sees the probe. Full disclosure: https://x402.payperbyte.io/feeds
Output
A cryptographically signed JSON verdict containing one of ALLOW, WARN, or BLOCK for the submitted (domain, payTo address, observed price) combination, along with supporting risk signals and metadata about why the verdict was reached.
Example use cases
Agent payment safety gate
“My AI agent is about to pay an x402 endpoint at api.dataprovider.io with payTo address 0xDEF456 for 0.10 USDC — screen it first and tell me if it's safe to proceed.”
Suspicious storefront pre-check
“Before my agent settles a payment, can you check whether the domain payperbyte-payments.xyz with receiving address 0x9988FF and a price of 1.00 USDC looks legitimate or should be blocked?”
Automated payment pipeline guard
“I'm building an agentic workflow that auto-pays x402 endpoints — screen every merchant before payment using the domain, payTo wallet, and the listed price so only ALLOW verdicts proceed.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.payperbyte.io/feeds/merchant-screenWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent is operating autonomously in an x402 payment flow and needs a pre-settlement trust signal before committing funds. It is specifically designed for the x402 protocol context, returns a machine-actionable signed verdict, and covers the unique (domain + payTo + price) triple that defines an x402 merchant storefront — making it more targeted than generic blockchain address lookup services.
Side effects
- Unknown or unresolvable domain returns WARN or BLOCK with low-confidence signal
- Mismatched payTo address for a known domain triggers BLOCK
- Price outside expected range for a known merchant may trigger WARN
- Malformed input (invalid address format, missing fields) returns a 4xx error
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns no verdict — agent should treat as WARN and not proceed
